Today we have the pleasure of sharing with you the premiere of local singer songwriting legend Josh Pyke’s video accompaniment to his stunning single ‘Be Your Boy’.

Says Pyke on the single “We all sometimes want to return to that simple, exhilarating, single-minded joy that comes along with the start of something.

You don’t have money but you spend it. You need to go to work in the morning, but you’re out till 4am. You watch the business people commuting daily and swear you won’t be one of them. You are drinking from the cup of life with great gulps, and you don’t want to slow down. It’s a beautiful time. It’s also often a confusing, confronting time, full of lines you know you will need to cross. You can’t stand still. No one can.

It’s ok; you can love your current life and still lament the loss of the former. It doesn’t make you disloyal to life, as you know it now. It gives you perspective and it means you’re human.”

‘Be Your Boy’ is taken from his 2015 LP But For All These Shrinking Hearts. Check out the clip below and if you like what you’re hearing be sure to pop by Pyke’s Facebook page for more info on upcoming shows pr releases.
